Resource-Oriented Concurrent Processing

Traditional concurrent development on the Java Platform requires in depth knowledge of threads, locks, and queues (oh, my!). Fortunately, new functional languages that run on the Java Platform, such as Scala, have made concurrent programming easier.

An alternate approach is to implement concurrent processes using a resource oriented computing (ROC) platform. At the heart of this ROC platform is a microkernel that allows processing to scale linearly as more CPUs are added. Consequently, developers are freed from the complexity of Java concurrency and functional programming.

In this session, I will provide an overview of resource-oriented concurrent programming using 1060 Research’s NetKernel. I will then present examples that compare and contrast this approach against concurrent programming using Java and Scala.
